Wufei looked around his office for something to do. He had finished his report for the day, and all the extra paperwork was done, and he still had over an hour left on his shift.

He decided the only thing he could do to keep from being restless was meditate. Not so deeply that he wouldn't hear a call, but deep enough to let his mind and body relax.

Setting his chair to the side of the room and sitting himself in a meditative possition, Wufei began concentrating on his inner self, his mind, his thoughts flowing, his heart, blood pumping, his lungs, air circulating, and slowly he sank, deeper, deeper into his meditation.

"Wufei." the voice of Major Sally Po said, her face appearing on his screen.

Trying not to let his irritation slip into his voice, he opened his eyes and responded.

"Yes?"

"Something's just come in, some information that may mean somthing to you." She said. Wufei noted that she seemed to be exited about whatever that information was.

"I'll be right there." he said as he stood up. Turning off his screen, he put his chair back at his desk and headed for Major Sally's office.

"You know about the collection of all residence records of all the colonies, correct?" Sally asked.

"Yes, I helped out on that particular job a few weeks ago." Wufei said. *She knows that, so why is she beating around the bush!?!* he wondered.

"What's your point?" he demanded, not wanting to waste time with small talk.

*Same old Wufei, some things about him will just never change.* Sally thought with a small smile.

"Well, it seems that not all of the people from your colony, your clan, are gone. Some have turned up on other L5 colonies, and even one or two on earth in the last couple of years." Sally reported, knowing reguardless of rank, Wufei would start ranting if she put him off any longer.

Wufei just glared at her.

"I knew that, some of my clansmen had been away at the time of the colony's destruction. I've met with them, I know they're out there. What kind of news is this!?!" He demanded.

Sally sighed, she had hoped that it would go over better than this.

"I had hoped that this would be better news for you. Reguardless, " She said pulling out a list and handing it to him, "These are the clan members that we located and compiled, who knows, maybe there are some names there that you don't know about." She said giving a weak smile. Wufei just rolled his eyes and left her office.

Back in his office, Wufei looked distainfully at the piece of paper in his hand.

"Baka onna, thinks she can make the destruction of my colony and people any better by putting together a list of names and addresses. Ha!" He muttered bitterly and sat rigidly in his chair. There was truely only one name that would have made any difference to him at all. And he knew that name wasn't going to be there, for that person, that woman, had died in his arms.

Slamming the list angrily on his desk, he grabbed his jacket and stormed out the door.

Wufei returned to his office 10 minutes before the end of his shift, much calmer than when he left, but still nowhere near completely calm. Deciding that Major Sally had gone to alot of trouble for his sake, and that it would be unjust to not even look at her list, he picked up the paper, and tried to look over it and stay calm.

That ended up being impossible. The moment he looked at the piece of paper, his whole world came down around him.

Hours later Sally checked her phone and found a recorded message. She opened it, and a very busy Wufei popped up on her phone screen.

"Major Sally, I didn't think so at first, but the list you gave me does have some names on it that I hadn't known about." His voice played as he moved about his office grabbing his laptop, a few printed documents, and a travel bag.

"As you can most likely tell, the names that I didn't know about are a little more than important, and I feel I must go and check them out immediately." he continued, packing the papers, laptop and his preventer's jacket, passport, and other travel papers into the bag.

"I thank you for my possition with the preventers the last few months, but I believe it probably wasn't going to be a permanent position as things were reguardless. Perhaps if I return things will be different. Farewell." he said, grabbing a trench coat from his closet, putting it on, grabbing his bag, and shutting off the message recorder.

"Well, what d'ya know..." Sally said in wonder. Shaking her head and smiling, she went back to her paperwork.
